Chapter 813： To Southampton?

La Finca high-end residential complex in Madrid, Spain.

A black BMW slowly stopped at the gate of one of the villas.

When the back door of the car opened, Jorge Mendez, a well-dressed Portuguese agent in a black suit and tie, got out of the car.

"Drive the car to the front, stop by the side of the road and wait for me!" Mendes asked the driver, turned and walked towards the villa door.

The doorbell rang at the gate, and soon the gate opened with a click.

As soon as I walked in, I saw a middle-aged couple in their 50s coming across from the courtyard.

When they saw Mendes, they shook their heads and sighed from a distance.

"Jorge, you must think of a solution this time."

"Yeah, Jorge, they are too much, you must find a solution!"

Seeing the two anxious looks, Mendes knew what was going on.

After meeting the two, he kept walking and walked straight to the door of the villa, but he was answering.

"I know, I know, Miguel, Diana, don't worry, listen to me!"

But the two closely followed Mendes's side, barely holding him either.

"They are just a group of ungrateful guys. They have completely forgotten what my son has done for them!"

"There are also those fans. About 70% of the fans support them to sell my son. This is simply outrageous and absolutely impossible. It is an ugly game!"

Mendes heard their complaints along the way, and suddenly felt like a fight.

He stopped suddenly before entering the villa gate.

"Hey, hey, Miguel, Diana, listen to me, listen to me!" In the end, he had to increase his tone.

The middle-aged couple stopped then, glanced at each other, and silently looked at Mendes.

"I will fix this matter, OK?"

Without waiting for the two to answer, Mendes interrupted them impatiently, "We are all annoying now. The most important thing for you now is to be patient and stop making trouble, especially when facing the media and reporters. Don't talk too much. , Please!"

The middle-aged couple named Miguel and Diana had no choice but to nod their heads.

Mendes also knew that the Argentine couple had not studied much.

Before their baby son played football and became famous, Miguel was a miner in Argentina. Their family also belonged to the bottom family in Argentina and had a hard life.

Therefore, to some extent, the son is the only pillar of their family.

When something happened to the son, they also suffered, so anxiety is inevitable.

Thinking of this, Mendes lowered his voice and soothed, "Trust me, it's okay!"

After speaking, he turned and walked into the villa.

Behind him, where can the middle-aged couple relax?

They do believe in Mendes, not because of how close they are to Mendes, nor because of how powerful Mendes is, but because this is the only thing they can do now.

Entering the villa, in the hall, a young young woman is teasing the little girl who is crawling on the carpet.

"Hi, Jorgelina." Mendes greeted the young woman with a smile, then squatted down again and waved at the pink girl, "Hello, Mia, can you call me?"

Jorge Lena picked up her daughter, took her little hand, and swayed toward Mendes, "Come on, tell me, hello, Uncle Jorge."

Mendes immediately smiled and lightly nodded the little girl's nose and stood up again.

"He should be in the backyard." Jorgelina said.

Mendes nodded, and walked to the backyard door familiarly.

When he wanted to rent this villa, Mendes came to see the house himself, so he knew exactly how to get there.

Out of the villa, came to the backyard, here is a flat grass.

A thin-looking young man in a Real Madrid jersey is playing on the grass.

The ball seemed to stick to his feet, allowing him to play various tricks, dazzling people.

He is just the great hero who helped Argentina reach the final in the World Cup, Real Madrid player, Di Maria!

Mendes is a professional agent and has dealt with countless professional players. He has also produced many very skilled players under his command, but he can also see that there are only a handful of players who can achieve the level of Di Maria.

There may be one, but although that person's skills are good, his career is a mess. He always disappoints people again and again. His name is Quaresma!

Mendes looked aside for a while, enjoying Di Maria's brilliant juggling, but had to interrupt it early.

"Ahem, Angel!" Mendes shouted.

Di Maria, who was playing with the ball, heard the sound and immediately turned around. As soon as he saw Mendes, he raised his left foot and gave the ball that had fallen in midair to the next.

The ball seemed to be sucked, stuck to his feet, then picked up his left foot, and caught the ball with his hands.

"Jorge!" Di Maria walked over.

Mendes could see that he was uninterested and nodded, "I'm sorry, I went to Italy yesterday and then to London, but as soon as I arrived in Madrid today, I went to the Bernabéu to find out the situation."

"Well, what did they say?" Di Maria looked calm.

But Mendes knew that this calm was only on the surface. In fact, he should be quite panic inside.

Because just half a year ago, even before the World Cup, he told Mendes very positively that even if he accepts Real Madrid's salary contract, he still wants to stay in Madrid.

However, now the situation has become very complicated.

"I learned about it. They decided to bring in James Rodriguez with all their strength. Although this player has now received almost half of the invitations from the European giants, you should know that he will basically not miss out! "

Di Maria knew that he was the chairman of Real Madrid, Florentino Perez.

"Then what's their attitude?" Di Maria was still very calm and asked lightly.

Mendes shook his head and smiled, "I talked to them, and they made two choices, either you enter Modric's transfer, or I help you find a team and bid to meet Real Madrid's requirements."

Di Maria frowned upon hearing this, "Going to Southampton?"

"Yes, according to the information I got, Modric's transfer has been discussed. Now the payment method has not been determined. Real Madrid wants to introduce James Rodriguez from the Saints, but it is not enough. , So they need to sell a player to cash out."

Having said this, Mendes sighed with a wry smile: "You should know that they originally planned to sell you last summer. After I coordinated with you, they decided to keep you, but now, they feel that their benevolence is exhausted. ."

Last summer, Real Madrid did think about selling Di Maria, but then considering that Di Maria’s wife had just given birth to a daughter and the child was still young, Di Maria hoped to stay in Real Madrid.

In fact, Real Madrid finally agreed to keep Di Maria.

But by now, I am afraid that the fate of both sides is over.

"Jorge, what's the situation in the transfer market now?" Di Maria raised her head, sighed, and asked.

"I have learned that there are currently six that can meet the treatment standards of Real Madrid, and there are currently three that can meet our requirements, namely Manchester United, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain. They are all very interested in you."

After Di Maria heard this, he couldn't help but frowned again, "Do you think I can adapt to the Premier League?"

Judging from Di Maria's physical fitness, he is really not very suitable for the Premier League, especially for teams like Manchester United and Chelsea that have always admired power play.

"If it is a team like Southampton, Arsenal and Manchester City, there should be no problem." Mendes thought for a while and said.

These three teams are also the most continental-style teams in the Premier League.

Needless to say, Arsenal, Manchester City started from Mancini, and now Pellegrini has adhered to this path.

On the other hand, Manchester United, during the Ferguson period, has not been able to adhere to the mainland, but pursued the traditional style of the Red Devils.

And Chelsea is even more pity, the process of continentalization came to an abrupt halt when Boas, whether it was Benitez or Mourinho, are going back and returning to the past British power style of play.

"Manchester United and Chelsea can't play the Champions League this season, right?" Di Maria asked again.

Mendes nodded and said: "Yes, even the new season may not be able to grab a place in the Champions League next season!"

At this point, Mendes also sighed.

Today's Premier League, the competition is too fierce.

"Paris Saint-Germain has always been interested in you, and they are also willing to meet our salary requirements and treatment. They can still play in the Champions League, but..."

Mendes couldn't really say much.

Paris Saint-Germain is of course rich and powerful, but it is the French League in the end, and there is no way to match the Premier League and La Liga in a short time.

This is why those stars who are on the rise are generally unwilling to play for Ligue 1.

Di Maria also has a headache, even Falcao is trying to leave Ligue 1 but he is going?

Moreover, Paris Saint-Germain introduced Ibrahimovic from Southampton this season. Even if he switched to Paris Saint-Germain, he could not become a star, and had to become Ibrahimovic's deputy. .

From this point of view, chooses where to go, each has its own pros and cons.

Thinking of this, Di Maria sighed deeply, "Jorge, what do you think?"

"Me?" Mendes shook his head with a wry smile. "I also have a headache. However, I think Southampton should be the most suitable from the perspective of the overall strength of the club and the impact on the players, but the Saints player lineup is bound to be As a result, internal competition is fierce, and their salary structure may not be able to meet our requirements."

"The overall strength of Paris Saint-Germain is also very strong, but it is difficult to make a difference in the European arena, and is limited by the level of the league and the overall environment. I think these are not as good as Southampton, but they should be treated personally. Has an advantage over Southampton."

"Manchester United and Chelsea are facing a lineup reorganization. No one can tell what the future will look like. Such a transfer is very risky and even possible..."

In fact, Mendes’ analysis has basically taken into consideration all aspects of the transfer.

Manchester United and Chelsea should be the last choices. The ones that are really more competitive are Southampton and Paris Saint-Germain.

These two teams have their own advantages and disadvantages, depending on which aspect Di Maria personally values ​​more.

If he pays more attention to personal treatment and hopes to have a relaxed game environment, then Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1 should be a good choice.

At least, Paris Saint-Germain can guarantee the core position.

But if he wants to go further in his career and get more honors, he should definitely choose Southampton.

Because the current Saints are definitely one of the strongest teams in Europe!
